Organizing Kitchen Labels

So, now that we got all that taken care of some of the business, let’s get onto this fun post.

It wouldn’t be January if we didn’t attempt to organize our home and lives.

A little backstory about Sam. We met on Facebook about two years ago and we decided to help each other with blogging. She lives in Australia and we have seriously talked almost every day since we met.

You can say we love to chat.

So, here is a bit of our conversation.

Interview

Happy Happy Nester: What inspired you to make kitchen labels?

Raggedy Bits: I had been wanting to get some organisation going on in my pantry for some time. So after finally getting around to gathering up the all the jars from Ikea the labels were then designed and made.

HHN: Are all your kitchen jars covered with these labels?

Raggedy Bits: Almost! I have just recently added a dried fruit collection to our pantry and am working on all of the other goodies like snacks and baking items.

HHN: Since you are located in Australia, do you sell mostly to Australians or Americans?

Raggedy Bits: It’s currently about half and half. Always happy to swap out labels for different products that are in each country.

HHN: What style kitchen would your dream kitchen look like?

Raggedy Bits: Vintage Farmhouse!! So lot’s of white, black and neutral colours with a mix of old scales, galvanised goodies, wooden painted signs and vintage finds. That way I can add pops of colour to the kitchen with flowers and accessories as the seasons change.

HHN: What is your favorite meal to make?

Raggedy Bits: With it being Winter here at the moment it would have to be my Slow Cooked Lemon Pepper Chicken with roasted veggies and gravy.

HHN: You have mailed your labels to people around the world, which is the most interesting place you have mailed to?

Raggedy Bits: I recently had an order from France and that was fun finding all the French words for pantry items.

HHN: Is it only you who fills orders? What is your turn around time from receiving the order to mailing it out?

Raggedy Bits: Sure is just me. I am hoping in the not too distant future to have someone come and help. I try to post the next day after the order comes through. Sometimes this may not happen due to high volumes of orders but that is my goal.

DIY’s on Applying the Label

1. Measure and mark your container the exact place you want to place your label. So, I just placed lines in the corners of the label as shown in my photo. I used a dry erase marker that wiped off easily.

2. Peel away the white backing to separate the plastic and black type. Now, this can be a bit tricky. So, sometimes the black print does not want to peel away with the clear plastic, so make sure to rub the type to the plastic sheet. Also, the white paper will hold onto the black type, just peel away with your fingernails. Sorry that the labels can be a bit touchy to work with during this stage of the process.

3. So, once the label is on your container, use a credit card edge to get rid of air bubbles. Also, this pressure will help adhere the labels to the surface.

4. Pull back the plastic layer to reveal the black label. Just wipe away your marks and enjoy.

5. Do not wash your container in the dishwasher. Handwash in warm water.

My whole family loves these new labels. I had the pantry open and each of my family members were amazed at how they turned out! Sam is so talented and I’m so happy she took my containers to a new level! Thanks for your visit and for participating on this blog hop!

Seeeing this great post really makes me want to get organized. I have lots of jars but no labels. I’m sure they would really help out. Thanks for sharing your organizing ideas Janine. And it was nice to learn about yours and Sam’s friendship.

I seriously love to organize, and I assure you my home still needs more organizing. But I love it when I do get an area under control and years later it still looks good and is working. Really think out and measure your space and be mindful of the containers you use. I love mine and so, I’m using them 2-3 years later. Thanks for your lovely comment and visit!

I’m ordering them from Sam right now! I already ordered the containers from the Container Store.
So grateful to you for the inspiration!
Wish you were here to help me put it all together.
When you come to my house, I cook for you? xo

I’m so delighted that you and your family are enjoying the labels!!! They look awesome on your containers! And your pantry is amazing!

It’s so nice to think that there is something that I made for you in your house!! I can’t believe it has been 2 years of chit chatting and blog growing!! Am very grateful to have met you through blogging and value our friendship every day!

Oh how I need these . My husband and I both said at the beginning of the New Year we need to clean out and organize our pantry. Winning these would give us the kickstart we needed for this daunting task. Also thank you for the recipe for the roasted Brussel sprouts. I can’t wait to try them.

Wow, those labels make such a difference. My pantry really needs help and those containers and labels certainly do the trick. Thanks so much for the peak into your pantry as well as the suggestions!
Susan

Although all our kids and grand kids are living elsewhere, I’m still reminded that my hubby and I live here and I want to make my home a cozy, lovely environment. That doesn’t mean spending a lot of money…it does mean attention to detail. What a sweet surprise it would be to open the pantry and smile when you see these. Thanks for offering us such great ideas and options!

I think your labels are awesome, and would use them to get a huge start on pantry re-organization! They are just my style, and I already have some cool jars I have used to store many colored ribbons in the past! I am moving them to become a mannequin “skirt” … a “borrowed” idea, too!
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!

I absolutely love these labels. The font is wonderful. I am moving into a new house the first of March and have a huge pantry that I can’t wait to organize. These labels would look so good on my containers.
